I stared at Oliver and sighed. "Well, at least we know it wasn't Graham."
He laughed lightly. "Foster, I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at Rosalie. It's my fault. I..."
Foster shook his head. "I just can't believe you guys would do this in the middle of the living room. All of us sit on that couch."
"Wait, what? That's why you're upset?" Oliver frowned.
Foster started laughing as he looked at us. "Do you think I'm stupid or something?"
"What are you talking about?" I stared at my brother.
"Dude, you guys aren't exactly CIA agents. It's been very obvious to me that you guys have been dating and hooking up and doing who knows what. Obviously, you weren't ready to tell me, so I pretended I didn't know. But obviously, you guys are getting serious." He paused as he looked at Oliver. "At least I hope this is more than just a sex thing. I didn't expect you guys to be having fun in a common room. I don't want to sit on that couch ever again."
"I'll get it cleaned," I said quickly.
"With whose money? I'm not paying to get it cleaned."
"I'll get it cleaned," Oliver said. "But, bro, you knew?"
"I knew," Foster said. "I'm not sure why you didn't tell me, though."
"Because I remember when we were younger and you told me not to even look at your sister and that no guy would ever be good enough and you'd kill any friend who dated her."
"Oh, that's when I was young," Foster said, "and that's when Rosalie was young. I never meant you. Dude, you're like my brother. You're my best friend. If I didn't think you were a good guy, then I wouldn't have you in my life. I wouldn't be living with you. I never would've let you pick up Rosalie from the airport and stay with her while I was out of town."
"So you don't mind?" I said.
"I don't mind, Rosalie. I know you've been into Oliver forever. It's been so obvious. You always talked about him. And well, I figured if it was meant to be, it would be. And I guess it was meant to be."
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend," I said quickly. I looked over at Alice. Alice was smiling widely. "We're officially together now."
"Oh my gosh. That's amazing. Congratulations, Rosalie."
"Thank you. And well, do you guys mind kind of turning around while we get up so we can put on some clothes? I feel kind of awkward sitting in here with only a blanket covering me."
"Come on, Alice," Foster said. "Let's go to my room, and we can chat. You guys just knock on the door when we can come out, okay?"
"Will do," I said quickly. Oliver looked at me, and I looked at him, and we both burst out laughing.
"I cannot believe we went through all that," Oliver said, "and Foster already knew."
"I know! Can you believe it? We were sneaking around thinking we were being so covert and having these secret sex rendezvous. And it was all for nothing."
"Well, it wasn't all for nothing. It was kind of fun," Oliver said as he gave me a kiss. "Now come on, let's go put some clothes on, and then maybe we can all order a pizza or something."
"Dude, we just ate."
"Yeah, but did Foster and Alice eat?"
"Oh, true. Maybe not. You mean to order a pizza for them?"
"Yeah, silly. I mean, I'm stuffed from all that lasagna and cheesy bread. Aren't you?"
"Well, yeah." I smiled at him. "I love you, Oliver."
"I know. And I love you too. And you know what is the first thing we're going to do next week?"
"No, what?"
